I feel so proud of myself. Last night, my parents went out of town, and I decided to treat myself to a movie. I printed a map, drove to the theatre, and generally did everything required for going out to the movies. This may sound like a petty, trifling matter, but this was the first time I've ever driven without a parent in the car. Go me! Moulin Rouge, by the way. Now I have "The Show Must Go On" stuck in my head, and it's not on the CD. Bah. I think they should have put that song on the CD instead of Diamond Dogs. They only had about 3 seconds of that song in the actual movie! Ultra Bah. I hope that they come out with a second CD, like they did for Phantom Menace. It could have "The Show Must Go On", "Spectacular Spectacular", "The Sound of Music", and some of the other montages. ::sigh:: I really love that movie.
Anyway, I've been seeing a bunch of movies lately. The day before yesterday, I left the dwindling group of people that hadn't seen Pearl Harbor, and today I saw Atlantis. Before Friday, everyone I talked to either loved or hated Pearl Harbor, and I assumed that there was no middle ground on the matter. Well, I fit smack dab in the centre. I don't know what to think about it. Bah. Predictable as heck, with lovely cinematography at some points, yet obnoxious at some points. Atlantis fell a bit short for me. Like all Disney movies, it was predictable, and I thought that it could have really benefitted if it had been a musical. Milo kept reminding me of Percy for some strange reason, even though he doesn't even look vuagely like my mental image of the guy. Bah again.
